Investigating Somatic Consciousness: Beginning with Three Methodologies

Consciousness is associated most readily with the mind, the psyche, and the psychological sciences, yet many contemporary approaches to understanding experience acknowledge that consciousness is necessarily embodied. 

Our invited speakers will provide theoretical and experiential perspectives on the nature of somatic consciousness from the point of view of:

Mindfulness and Therapy:
John Peacocke (Oxford Mindfulness Centre) & Eva Kreikenbaum (University of Basel)

Alexander Technique:
Alex Farkas (Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique & Bard College Conservatory of Music) & Michal Segal (Alexander Technique, Glasgow)

Focusing:
Donata Schoeller (Universities of Chicago & Zürich) & Robert Lee (Interamerican Focusing Institute).

This is a multidisciplinary event, open to all.
